The Baha'is of Nepal, Delhi, Punjab and Haryana recently converged at the the Lotus Temple for a prayer service for the release of the seven community leaders arrested in Iran.
The seven Bahai leaders--Fariba Kamalabadi, Jamaloddin Khanjani, Afif Naeimi, Saeid Rezaie, Behrouz Tavakkoli, Vahid Tizfahm Mahvash Sabet--have been under imprisonment. Some have been in prison for over nine years now.
The Bahai's are a religious minority in Iran.
